We are thrilled to share that our new store, Bridge Thrift Home & Restoration, officially opened its doors on October 25, 2025.

“Our hearts are full of gratitude to share this new space with the community and to continue supporting local teens at The Bridge Teen Center through it,” shared founder, Priscilla Steinmetz.

Our second location features a wide selection of furniture and home goods, a unique Antique & Cool Junk section, a media corner, a rotating Pop-Up Shop highlighting local artisans and makers, and our very own Taking Root Plant Shop.

In addition to offering great finds, this store is also home to our "Thriftastic" Job Readiness & Leadership Training Center, a dedicated space for training and leadership development. Here, teens gain hands-on training, real-world work experience, and essential life skills to help them confidently prepare for their futures.

We are deeply grateful for the incredible support we have received during the opening of our new store. To everyone who joined us for the Grand Opening, Ribbon Cutting, or stopped by to shop, thank you for helping us celebrate this exciting new chapter in our community.
